Using Standard Dialog Boxes for Handling Active Directory Objects

Microsoft® Windows® provides a Common Dialog Box library for common operations, such as File Open, File Browse, and so on. Beginning with Microsoft® Windows® 2000, the system provides dialog boxes that can be used for common UI operations in Microsoft Active Directory® directory service.

The following dialog boxes are available for use with Active Directory:

• Directory Object Picker
• Domain Browser
• Container Browser
• Active Directory Users and Computers Property Sheets

In addition, Active Directory creation wizards can also be invoked from an application. For more information, see Invoking Creation Wizards from Your Application.
